Abstract

A three-dimensional data encoding method is a three-dimensional data encoding method of encoding a plurality of three-dimensional points, and includes: selecting one prediction mode for calculating, using attribute information of a second three-dimensional point in a vicinity of a first three-dimensional point, a predicted value of attribute information of the first three-dimensional point; calculating a predicted value according to the one prediction mode; calculating a prediction residual that is a difference between the attribute information of the first three-dimensional point and the predicted value; and generating a bitstream that includes the one prediction mode and the prediction residual, and in the calculating of the predicted value, a predetermined fixed value is calculated as a predicted value calculated according to the one prediction mode in a case in which a predicted value based on the attribute information of the second three-dimensional point is not assigned to the one prediction mode.

Claims (9)

1. A three-dimensional data encoding method, the three-dimensional data encoding method comprising:

(i) in a case in which a number of reference values available to calculate a predicted value of a current value in one prediction mode selected from among two or more prediction modes is greater than a predetermined number corresponding to the one prediction mode selected, (a) calculating the predicted value according to the one prediction mode selected and (b) calculating a prediction residual that is a difference between the current value and the predicted value calculated;

(ii) in a case in which the number is equal to or less than the predetermined number, not performing the calculation of the predicted value; and

generating a bitstream that includes the prediction residual.

2. The three-dimensional data encoding method according to claim 1 , wherein (ii) in the case in which the number is equal to or less than the predetermined number, the current value is assigned as the prediction residual.

3. A three-dimensional data decoding method, the three-dimensional data decoding method comprising:

(i) in a case in which a number of reference values available to calculate a predicted value of a current value in one prediction mode selected from among two or more prediction modes is greater than a predetermined number corresponding to the one prediction mode selected, (a) obtaining a bitstream that includes one prediction mode and a prediction residual, (b) calculating the predicted value according to the one prediction mode obtained, and (c) calculating the current value by adding the predicted value and the prediction residual; and

(ii) in a case in which the total number is equal to or less than the predetermined number, not performing the calculation of the predicted value.

4. The three-dimensional data decoding method according to claim 3 , wherein (ii) in the case in which the total number is equal to or less than the predetermined number, the prediction residual is assigned as the current value.
